($) Should you include a picture?

September 10, 2014 by EssaySnark - Discusses Columbia

Many years back, like in 2010 or thereabouts, Columbia Business School added a section to their online application where they invited you to include a photograph. It has always been optional, and the European schools have this as standard (people often include their photo on their CV in Europe – please don’t do that for...

($) If you’re doing a PowerPoint for Stern, Booth, or MIT

September 9, 2013 by EssaySnark - Discusses MIT Sloan, NYU Stern, Chicago Booth

We’re going to go through the instructions for Stern Personal Expression today because we’ve seen some people get confused. This post mostly deals with the many BSers who’ll be submitting a PowerPoint presentation for this option. Some of this also applies to the Booth presentation, which can be either a written essay or an, uh,...

($) Video essay/short-answer interview tips

August 5, 2013 by EssaySnark - Discusses Kellogg, Yale SOM

There’s all this innovation happening (finally!) in bschool admissions, and one change looming on the horizon that has many BSers worked up is the video component that Kellogg and Yale have hinted at. We’re lacking the details still about exactly what they’ll respectively be requiring but we know how these video snippets work in big...

So you’re gonna do a video essay

November 9, 2011 by EssaySnark - Discusses The Consortium, Dartmouth Tuck Leave a Comment

>A highly motivated Brave Supplicant asked a question on BTG about the Tuck Consortium option for submitting a video essay. (NYU accepts video submissions; UCLA used to but seems to have backed off of that this year.) This BSer sounds like they’ve got a very ambitious — and possibly quite effective — project planned. If […]

Stern "personal expression" essay

December 22, 2010 by EssaySnark - Discusses UCLA Anderson, NYU Stern Leave a Comment

Remember how we freaked you out with the caliber of the video (and audio) essays submitted to UCLA last year? How amazing those candidates were? And remember how you discounted the whole thing, saying, “Who cares? None of my other schools want me to do a video. And even UCLA has that essay as optional. […]

at risk of completely demotivating you…

November 3, 2010 by EssaySnark - Discusses Kellogg, UCLA Anderson

EssaySnark knows, this is a bit of a double-edged sword. UCLA has posted real-life examples (presumably from real-life applicants who they accepted) of the audio/video essay question that they had the last few years, which they’ve since made “optional.” Go check these out. (link updated 12/18/10) Those are actual submissions from the 2009-’10 application season....
